Poodles are considered the second most intelligent breed of dog. Besides having beauty and brains the Poodle is an amazingly versatile dog. The Poodle's clean, non-shedding coat makes him very attractive as a house pet. The Poodle has a noble carriage that reflects boundless self-confidence and self-esteem. When considering between the different sizes of Poodles families with young children should choose a Standard or Miniature Poodle that can keep up with the boisterous play of their children. Poodles are quick learners and quite adept at figuring things out for themselves. Regular training is a positive way for these smart dogs to expend their prodigious mental energy. Poodles are considered active dogs that thrive on physical activity and the human attention that goes with it. Standard Poodles would prefer a yard.

About us:Breeding Standard Poodles is not just a hobby but a passion for us. We keep a maximum of 4 adults dogs in our home and other dogs we keep for breeding live with close friends. Poodles need proper socialization and should not be "kennel dogs" or dogs live alone outside if they are to get limited human interaction. Our goal is to breed a balanced and versatile poodle. To us this means to strive to honor set conformation guidelines while keeping to the origins of the poodle which is a hunting/water dog. A poodle should have proper structure to swim, hunt, herd, do agility and be your working dog companion as well as beloved pet. We like a well built poodle with a nice chest and one that is not too "ribby" and we are striving to breed away from a poodle that has a greyhound, whippet or Afgan appearance/build. Our family supports our daugher in dog 4h with our poodles. We show Conformation in AKC and IABCA and a little in UKC. Hablo espanol.

Therapy Poodles:Studies have shown that a patients's blood pressure is lowered and the immune system strengthened when interacting with animals. Pet therapy is a service that is provided by people and their certified companion animals. Animals can lift the spirits and in some cases eliminate or reduce the need for psychotropic drugs. Samantha (Standard Poodle) and Shiela (owner/handler) are certified as a Therapy Dog team. Many of our adult pups are service and therapy dogs for their owners.

Health Testing, COI, & Temperament:Health is a big concern and we want to try and provide our puppy buyers with the healthiest puppies we can. That's why we do Genetic health testing on all our breeding adults. Please be aware that many breeders advertise that they do the health testing but they are referring to Vet visits and vaccines not the Genetic Health Testing. You do not want to purchase a puppy for less money and then end out spending much more on Veterinary bills for an unhealthy puppy. Our testing includes but is not exclusive to Vwd, OFA Hip and/or PennHip, OFA Eye CERF, NE, Sebbaceous Addentitis, OFA Thyroid, and a current and complete Blood Panel checking for any signs of Addison's. We are proud to offer a 4 year health guarantee with our pups. All of our breedings have a low Coefficient of inbreeding. "COI" or "IC". That means that our breeding pairs are not in-bred, line bred or closely related. We do Temperament Testing by a qualified Evaluator on all our litters to try to match the puppy personality with your personality. Consider us if you are looking for a Therapy/Service dog. Please let us know if you are looking for a Bird hunting partner. Some of our poodle pups come from working and hunting lines and we have Professional help in evaluating retrieving skills and hunting temperament on your puppy. Please let us know if your interests are in Conformation Show.
